“I know the odds” – In-form Celine Boutier comments on the possibility of a three-peat at the 2023 AIG Women’s Open

Celine Boutier recently said that she wasn't putting herself under the pressure of achieving a three-peat at the AIG Women's Open.

A couple of weeks ago, Boutier won her first major, the Evian Championship, in front of her home crowd. The following week, she ended up winning the Women's Scottish Open. Now, she is at the Walton Heath Old Course in a quest to achieve a rare three-peat.

Boutier is once again one of the favorites to triumph this week. During the pre-event conference of the AIG Women's Open, she spoke about the odds and her mindset toward the chances of achieving a three-peat at this event.

She said:

"No, I know the odds. To be fair, like, even winning two in a row is already pretty low, so I know three is, like, unbelievable if it happened, but I'm just not going to put a lot of pressure on myself about that. I'm honestly trying to put some good rounds together and see at the end."

The 29-year-old golfer added that although she wanted to finish the last major of the season on a high, she wasn't under any pressure to win two majors in a row and was happy to have already won her first major.

She was quoted as saying via ASAP Sports:

"I feel like I'm just so happy to have already won my first major. I feel like I obviously want to finish, you know, the last major of the season really well, but I'm definitely not putting so much pressure to, like, win this week."

The Montrouge native has already clinched three titles this season and is at the top of the standings in the Race to the CME Globe Season.
